Young Adults Coming Together to Wake Up to Life
Many of the future leaders of American Catholicism are young adults today who have yet to experience a life-changing encounter with Christ through the Church (Deus Caritas Est 1). We will seek to bridge the gap young adults often experience between contemporary culture and the Catholic faith in this new “Wide Awake” conference we are launching. We will focus on conversion to Jesus and the initiatory catechesis needed in order to ground these young adults in the life of faith. We hope that they will bring renewed life to the campus ministries and dioceses to which they return.
The conference will include large group sessions of powerful music, young adult personal stories of faith, and compelling applications of the Gospel to life. Workshops will guide young adults in specific aspects and disciplines of Christian faith.
